A mini bus arrived on time at our hotel to collect us and there were 2 other ladies aboard. As it was an unusually small group, our tour guide filled in time by taking us to a new hindu temple which was beautiful and a stop by the sea (not so beautiful). In hindsight I would have preferred a later pick up. Our guide was great, funny and informative and made us completely relaxed. We stopped at the fort on the hill where the highlight was feeding the monkeys then onto dinner. Dinner was at a large open Chinese restaurant built over the river, it was noisy with bright fluorescent lights (typically Asian) but the food and service were good, including prawns and crab. Next onto the fireflies which were worth seeing but took about 5 mins to view via a small row boat. They are tiny but twinkle in the mangroves like xmas trees. They occupy a very small area of the river and are only in new mangrove trees. We were lucky that we were there on a moonless night at high tide which is optimum viewing time.

We were escorted on this walking tour by Charles who was engaging and funny, he also brought along an apprentice who was also a very nice man. There were only 3 of us on the tour so we got plenty of attention. The start of the tour is a bit out of KL CBD so we weren't sure if we were in the right place and it wasn't totally convenient to get there. The tour was informative and fun, we ate Indian the traditional way with our hands, enjoyed Indian snacks and deep fried "tea time snacks" and lastly Chinese noodles. It was all street food, eaten on the street. This tour ended in the China town markets which was good for shopping but again we had to make our own way back to the hotel.

This tour was well worth it. The guide was great and very personable. The 3 castles were all quite different and very impressive. The lunch was in a lovely local restaurant with a good 3 course meal and a number of choices. This was 13 hour tour so a long day and an early start in the dark in Winte

We did the whole day tour which showed us more of the grounds than just the palace. i was looking forward to the horse and cart ride advertised for Winter but apparently they have not done this for 2 years.

The beautiful Joanne who led our tour was so passionate and full of knowledge that we couldnt help enjoying our tour. All our questions were answered thoroughly and it was great walking past the long ques and walking straight in. We arrived by walking and not the metro so it was a little confusing finding the start of the tour but once found it was very professional. The crowds of tourists are huge in Rome so it is worth taking a tour. Thank you Joanne for the restaurant recommendations as well!

Thank you Pilar for a great day trip. Amalfi coast was memorable and The Pompeii tour by Genaro was very interesting and thorough. I would recommend this tour as it was professionally run and limited to a small number.

The crowds in the Vatican can be overwhelming, Francesca acted as if they weren't there which made the Vatican tour very enjoyable. Francesca was knowledgabe, informative and funny. A great experience.
